Southern California first-generation buyers currently have a limited window to register for the California Dream For All program.
Southern California first-generation buyers have until March 16 to register for the California Dream For All down payment assistance program.
The California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) has opened registration for the California Dream For All Shared Appreciation Loan Program, giving eligible first-generation homebuyers across Southern California an opportunity to obtain mortgage pre-approval and enter the program’s statewide lottery.
The Dream For All program helps first-generation buyers purchase homes.
The registration portal closes Monday, March 16, 2026 at 5:00 PM PST, after which no new registrations will be accepted for the current cycle.
The program may provide up to $150,000 toward a down payment and closing costs through a shared-appreciation loan with no monthly payments while the homeowner occupies the property.
When the program previously launched, approximately $300 million in funding was exhausted in just 11 days. The current round is estimated to have $150 million to $200 million available statewide.
Unlike many assistance programs, Dream For All distributes funding through a statewide randomized lottery rather than a first-come process.
Applicants must obtain a mortgage pre-approval from a CalHFA-approved lender before registering. Registrations submitted without a valid pre-approval are not eligible for lottery selection, and incomplete applications do not enter the drawing.
Southern California Mortgage Broker Assisting Dream For All Applicants
Anaheim-based mortgage broker Robert Peters, founder of Bridge One Capital, works with a CalHFA-approved lending partner to help eligible buyers obtain the mortgage pre-approval required before entering the Dream For All lottery.
Peters has more than 25 years of mortgage lending experience, assisting first-time homebuyers, refinance clients, and real estate investors throughout Southern California.
He is known for a structured loan preparation process referred to as Deal-Proofing, which reviews borrower documentation, assets, and loan structure before files are submitted to underwriting.
Applied to Dream For All applications, this preparation helps ensure buyers who enter the lottery have files capable of closing if selected.
“For a first-generation buyer, being selected for Dream For All is not just a financial event — it can be a generational one,” Peters said.
“But this program is a shared-appreciation loan, not a grant. Buyers should confirm eligibility, review county income limits, and obtain a valid mortgage pre-approval before the registration deadline.”
Bridge One Capital assists buyers with eligibility review, documentation preparation, and loan structuring before registration.
Eligibility Overview
According to CalHFA guidelines, applicants must meet several requirements including:
• first-time homebuyer status (no homeownership within the previous three years)
• first-generation homebuyer eligibility under program rules

• completion of required homebuyer education
Current income limits include:

Los Angeles County — up to $168,000 household income

Realtor Guidance
Real estate professionals across Southern California may currently have clients who qualify for the Dream For All program but are unaware that the registration window is open.
Because registration requires a valid mortgage pre-approval from a CalHFA-approved lender, Realtors are encouraged to confirm that eligible buyers begin the pre-approval process before the March 16 deadline.
Agents with active buyer clients may request a quick eligibility review.
Some agents choose to share this information with first-generation buyers who may benefit from the program.
Registration Deadline
The Dream For All registration portal closes March 16, 2026 at 5:00 PM PST.
After that deadline, new registrations for the current cycle will not be accepted.
